CORN CRIBS.
How They Are Constructed and Protected
From Rats and Mice,

From Rats and Mice.
Three or four new corr Grips were
latuly being built ut Oak Grove farm
Tor storing the corn grown upon the
fifty fivc-acre corn-ield. The cribs
are set upon posts firmly planted in
the earth, with about four feet above
the surface. Upon these heavy cross
pieces are placed for supporting the
stills, which are thirty feet long and
four feet apart. The plates are eight
feet apart, which gives n roof that af-
fords ample protection to the sides Of
the crib and its contents. There are
joists running lengthwise for mailing
the upright sliding boards in the mid
die. between the stills and plates.
The plates are held from spreading BY
strips of board nailed to each, across
on a level with the foot of the ~raftcrs.
The rafters are five and a half feet
long, made by splitting two by four
joists. The sliding boards are
four and half inch floor
boards, split with a rip saw
into two and a quarter inch stats.
These are nailed just neal enough to
keep ears of corn from falling through,
The roof is covered with tho best
quality pine clapboards nailed directly
to the rafters. The whole is we'll
painted, as are all the farm building 1,
sill = ridge pole. These cribs
will each hold one thousand two hun.
lred bushels of ears, and from pre-
vious observations Of similar structures
at the West, the corn will dry and
keep in them perfectly. This kind of
a crib is also rat ara mice proof, par.
.|icularly if tin pans. bottom up, are
on the posts. The crib must
not be lear enough to any tree, fence

AS they can not climb up the
higher than the tin pans. the
crib is sure to be rat and mice proof.
The steps leading to the crib should be
movable ones, that can be folded or
